1
fundamental nature or defining quality
The basic nature or special quality that makes something what it is.
استعمال کا انداز:
the essence of [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "essence" with "essential." "Essence" is a noun (the basic nature), while "essential" is usually an adjective (very important or necessary). For example, say "the essence of the story" (not *"the essential of the story").

main or basic point
The main and most basic point of an idea, plan, or message.
استعمال کا انداز:
the essence of [something] is [clause/noun]

gist (Informal; focuses on the general idea rather than a precise core.)
|
crux (More formal; stresses the most difficult or critical point to understand or solve.)
|
main point (Very clear and informal; less abstract and shorter than "essence.")

A strong liquid made from something, often used to give food or drink a strong taste or smell.
استعمال کا انداز:

ہم معنی الفاظ
extract (Very close in meaning; slightly more common in some varieties of English, especially for flavoring.)
|
concentrate (Stresses that the liquid is very strong; often used for juices and chemicals as well.)

|
